In the Harrington case, the judge and attorney will discuss what happens next and possibly set a trial date.

On Tuesday, a former girlfriend of Matthew submitted a letter to the judge saying he was raped as a child. In a separate letter, Matthew's mother begged for mercy saying her son "has always shown respect to everyone around him."

Earlier this year, Matthew was convicted in Fairfax County of sexually assaulting a woman back in 2005. He faces life in prison.
